  • Is Documentary Photography at a Crossroads?

    Fred Ritchin speaks about the risks and possibilities of AI in a moment defined by conflict, misinformation, and threats to democracy.

    via Aperture: https://aperture.org/editorial/is-documentary-photography-at-a-crossroads/

    If you have had a visual currency that has been both believable and useful in making the lives of millions of people better, in helping to bring wars to an end earlier, in promoting civil rights, and in provoking global interventions when there’s disease or famine or earthquakes or other serious issues, rather than saying just that it’s been diminished in terms of its credibility, which it has been, I think the appropriate question is: What can be done to restore trust in it as a witness?

  • Looking Back: The Photography of Lewis Watts – LENSCRATCH

    In an era when the discordance of daily life more often than not overshadows fleeting moments of intimacy, Lewis Watts invites us to pause, reflect, and engage with the layers of connection and history embedded in the communities he documents. The exhibition, “Looking Back: The Photography of Lewis Watts” on view at the Center for

    Once I accepted that being rejected was a part of the process, I was able to approach people in the street and in other situations with more confidence. I think that people pick up on that. I can also use people’s reactions as a marker of how much I am really into the situation that I am photographing. When folks are not into it, I know that I have to change my own mind set and relax and try again or move on

  • Photographers After Social Media

    via Conscientious Photography Magazine: https://cphmag.com/photographers-after-social-media/

    Unlike the time when social media started, I believe this presents an opportunity for photographers today. Creating a new community on a different platform will take time and effort. In fact, it’s not even clear to me that focusing on only one app is the approach to follow: maybe app XXX works better for sharing work, while app YYY might be better for people who want to engage in conversations?

  • Getty Images-Shutterstock Merger: Why Photogs Are Less Than Thrilled

    After Getty Images announced plans for a $3.7 billion merger with competitor Shutterstock, photographers spoke about the effects of the deal.

    via Artnet News: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/getty-images-shutterstock-merger-photographers-2595558

    Photojournalist Angus Mordant, whose images have been published in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, said he feared the merger would “create a monopoly that only stands to hurt photographers.” Mordant, who has not shot on assignment for Getty Images, echoed the criticism that the company has paid notoriously low rates over the years.

    Shorr shot in black-and-white, with a Nikon, often leaning through the partition that divided the driver from the driven during stops, so that the back of the car became a de-facto photo booth. From the moment that she announced her creative intentions to her subjects, she told me, “the whole dynamic of control and power in the car changed.”

    While the new law will still require permits for large-scale commercial productions within National Parks and associated public lands, smaller groups of photographers and videographers will now be able to film without going through the arduous process of acquiring permits, provided that they follow park regulations, operate safely, and do not force the federal government to incur undue costs.
